Chapter 18 ■ Customizing the Controlling Module
In this exercise, you will maintain the relevant standard hierarchy for your controlling area. Before you start
this exercise, let’s first map out the costs hierarchy you will be using for your cost center standard hierarchy.
There is no standard way of doing this. In practice, standard hierarchy can be very lengthy and cumbersome.
It is important that you spend quality time mapping out your standard hierarchy before commencing your
configuration. We have provided a standard hierarchy mapping in Table 18-5 to help you define the standard
hierarchy for your cost centers. You can refer back to this table as you build the hierarchy levels.
Table 18-5. Mapping for Defining the Standard Hierarchy
To define the standard hierarchy, use this menu path: IMG: Controlling ➤ Cost Center Accounting
➤ Master Data ➤ Cost Centers ➤ Define ➤ Standard Hierarchy. Or use transaction code OKEON. The Set
Controlling Area dialog box pops up. Enter your controlling areas (C900) in the Controlling Area fields. Click
the Enter button at the bottom of the screen. The Standard Hierarchy for Cost Center Change screen is
displayed, where you will define the standard hierarchy for your cost centers. Follow the five steps (levels)
outlined in the next sections.
Level 1: Update the Standard Hierarchy Group Name
Your standard hierarchy H-C900 created in the Maintain Controlling Area section earlier should be displayed
and automatically selected by the system (the selection is yellow). Otherwise, you have to select it by clicking
on it. In the Details for Cost Center Group section of the screen (Figure 18-16), update the group name by
entering a descriptive name (for example, Standard Hierarchy) in the Group Name field.
